I go to push him away but he leans in again, gripping the back of my neck and pulling my head towards his ear. “You were mine first. You betrayed me. Now I betray you by sharing that footage around the club.”

My hands are on his chest and I’m pushing him away, but his grip is tighter. “Kace wouldn’t do that to me!” I shove him again. And I doubt he heard my words, till I saw his expression.

“Who you think turned the cameras on?” And those words send disbelief across my face. “Like I said he owed me. You were meant to be mine.”

Tears swell in my eyes and I don’t want to believe it. I just don’t want to. He’s lying. He is trying to get in between Kace and I. Then he pulls out his phone and my expression drops, I see Kace and I on the bed and before he hits play. I get out of his grip. Weaving through the crowd.

KACE

“Where’s Ivory?” I shout at Elle. She is flirting her ass off with some bloke. I grip her by the shoulders when she doesn’t hear me. “Where is Ivory!” I say again, and she shrugs then frowns.

“She was talking to your friend last time I looked.” Then she turned back to the bloke. I scanned the club for Prince.

Couldn’t see him, then just as I thought that. I spotted him and… nah that can’t be Ivory. Heading for the back alley. I take off after them. Maybe they needed a smoke?

The crowd was thick, and it’s hard to move through. Finally when I get to the end of it. I push the exit door open and look up and down the smoking alley and can’t see them.

I pull my phone out, calling Ivory. Why the fuck would she piss off with Prince? Worse of all Prince had a fucking thing for her as well. His obsession with her just got worse after Ivory and I became a couple.

I saw the hatred in his eyes tonight when he saw me with her.

I walk up the alley way, walking onto the street. And I spot Prince he’s got Ivory cornered against a wall. Fucking cunt. “Get away from her!” I shout before I grip his shoulder, pulling him back and punching him right in the jaw.

I turn back to see Ivory…. But it’s not Ivory. It’s some other blonde.

“Who the fuck is that?” I say to Prince. And he is cradling his jaw.

“I don’t know her name. I was just going to fuck her!” Prince shouted at me.

“Where’s Ivory?” I demand. And he rolls his eyes.

“How the fuck am I meant to know?” he says and gets up from the ground. “God man, not my fault you can’t control your pussy.” And then I punch him for a new reason.

Elle handed me a water bottle.Her blonde hair up in a ponytail, sweatpants on, and was taking this as serious as everyone else.

“So tell me again?” Gabe said, and his phone was at his ear.

“I went for a piss.” I growled. “For the tenth fucking time. I came back and she was gone!” My eyes went to Elle. “How can you not remember her leaving?”

Elle was sipping water slowly sobering up. “I just know she was talking to that Pin guy.”

“Prince.” I correct her. She rolls her eyes, like the detail doesn’t matter.

“How much had she had to drink?” Gabe asks again, and I glare at him. Ivory again doesn’t answer her phone, and he puts his phone down.

“I am not a fucking parrot. If you don’t listen the first time itis not up to me to keep repeating it to you!” I roar at him, and Gabe’s ringing phone on the counter. Caused all three of us to look at it.

“It’s Links.” Gabe mutters answering it.

“Did you alert every Henderson?” I growl at Elle. And she shrugs. Last thing I need is every pretty perfect Henderson rub it in my face that I had one job tonight and I failed at it.

“So Ivory’s with you.” Gabe says and my eyes snap to him, my expression dropped. “Yeah we were getting worried…. Okay…. Right. Did she say why?” He frowns “Okay brother we know the drill.” And then he hangs up.

“She’s with your brother?” I look for answers. “Doesn’t he live across the other side of town?”

Gabe is frowning.
